Revolutionizing the cruise experience, Celebrity Xcel has introduced an innovative multi-level space known as The Bazaar. This dynamic area offers a rich tapestry of activities that change daily, immersing passengers in diverse cultural experiences. Visitors can explore vibrant artisan markets, participate in hands-on craft sessions, and savor regional delicacies, all while enjoying destination-inspired festivals and performances. Each day brings something new, ensuring that no two visits to The Bazaar are ever the same.

The heart of The Bazaar lies in its ability to seamlessly integrate the essence of each port into the ship's environment. Through four distinct festivals, guests can indulge in authentic local foods, crafting workshops, retail events, and live entertainment, all tied to specific destinations. Additionally, Mosaic, an open kitchen, serves reimagined dishes inspired by the regions visited, complemented by a Chef’s Table experience that offers a multi-course tasting menu of global childhood favorites. For those eager to learn, Chef’s Studio provides cooking classes where participants can master the preparation of regional specialties. Spice, a casual dining venue, features rotating menus based on the ports of call, offering scenic views of the sea and ports.

Celebrity Xcel empowers travelers to actively shape their onboard experience through the Xcel 'Dream Makers' program. Participants can test, try, and vote on various culinary, entertainment, and design options, giving them a say in the offerings available on board. As Celebrity Xcel sets sail from Fort Lauderdale for its inaugural season, offering seven-night itineraries to exotic locales like the Bahamas and Mexico, it paves the way for an unforgettable journey. In summer 2026, the ship will embark on its European season, with voyages from Barcelona and Athens, including overnight stays in Madeira, Portugal. This initiative not only enhances the travel experience but also fosters a deeper connection between passengers and the destinations they visit.
